<?Mapping?> fails after upgrade to beta 2

To use a custom panel Foo.Bar.CustomPanel in XAML, I do the following:

< Mapping XmlNamespace="foo/bar" ClrNamespace="Foo.Bar" >
<Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:foobar="foo/bar"
...
<foobar:CustomPanel .../>

After updating to WinFX beta 2, this no longer works. I get the following error:
Error 5 'CustomPanel' tag does not exist in XML namespace 'foo/bar'.

Does anyone know how to use a custom class in XAML in beta 2 I'm probably not looking in the right places, but I can't find the answer. Thank you.

Hi there,

I have tried the following with no luck:

<Window x:Class="WorkBench.MainShell"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:cmt="clr-namespace:Cmt.UI.ADR2000;assembly:CustomView.dll"

Title="WorkBench" Height="325" Width="386"

>

<DockPanel>

<cmt:PatientView/>

</DockPanel>

</Window>

Where PatientView is derives from ContentControl, declared inside the CustomView.dll (I also tried to omit the ".dll"). Of course the Cmt.UI.ADR2000 is the namespace.

What did I do wrong

It turns out my installation was somewhat borked, and that's why I couldn't find the answer in the documentation. Once I got the docs installed correctly, I found the answer quickly. In case anyone else needs the answer:

Instead of < Mapping > directives, you now define the CLR namespace of the XML namespace in the XML namespace declaration:
<... xmlns:foobar="clr-namespace:Foo.Bar[;assembly=XXX]" .../>
Don't include the '.dll' extension in the assembly name.

Thanks, it works. I had also added a reference to this assembly, and omitted the ".dll".

Now I have the following warning:

Warning 1 The element 'Grid' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' has invalid child element 'PatientView' in namespace 'clr-namespace:Cmt.UI.ADR2000;assembly=CustomView'.

D:\Documents and Settings\Tomer\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CMT\WorkBench\WorkBench\MainShell.xaml 9 4 WorkBench

Here is the XAML of my Custom Control:

<ContentControl x:Class="Cmt.UI.ADR2000.PatientView"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

</ContentControl>

Here is the .cs of my Custom Control:

public partial class PatientView : ContentControl

{

public PatientView()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

}

What did I do wrong

Thanks.

Hey awhite,

Could you post a more specific example of the usage of mapping, both in the class declaration within the clr-namespace and in the XML

Thank you..

Actually it was my mistake; my post had an error. I've now corrected it: notice that you use an '=' instead of a ':' before the assembly name. I haven't tried this as I haven't needed to link to an assembly yet, but that's what the docs say. Good luck.
